Some sites may enforce that we wait outside the premises after 6pm. The Camp Manager and one other member of staff will wait with any children.

If no contact has been made with parent/guardian after 30 minutes the local Social Services department will be contacted as per our Uncollected Child Policy.

PRICING DISCOUNTS

The best available price will always be offered at the time of booking. However prices will vary throughout the year.

Discounts cannot be used in conjunction with each other. If you have multiple discount codes, the best rate will be offered to you.

VENUE CANCELLATION

From time to time we may need to amend our activities, services, dates and venues for reasons, within or outside our control. In these circumstances we will transfer your booking to another KitCrew Camps venue and/or alternative dates as advertised at that time by KitCrew Camps. To ensure the process of changing venues runs as smoothly as possible KitCrew Camps will offer complimentary unlimited Early Starts (7:30 – 8:30am) and Late Stay (5:00 – 6:00pm). Under no circumstances will there be a refund or compensation to the customer. Please note that not all activities appear on the timetable daily, therefore if you are booking individual days we cannot guarantee specific activities on particular days.

In the unlikely case that we are unable to run the camp due to adverse weather conditions KitCrew Camps will offer a credit for another day.

KitCrew will endeavour to advise customers of any closure by means of email, text or notification on the KitCrew Camps website/Facebook Page as soon as possible. The website will be updated with the most up to date information.

If customers are unable to attend camp during adverse weather conditions but the camp is open, no refund will be applicable.

TIMETABLE

KitCrew Camps reserves the right to alter the advertised timetable.

LUNCH

KitCrew Camps does not provide lunch for any child. They must arrive with a packed lunch, adequate snacks and water bottle every day.

In the event a child does not bring their lunch/water bottle to camp, KitCrew will first attempt to phone the contact details given to advise parents/guardians that they will need to bring their packed lunch to camp. Should parents/guardians be unable to return to camp to provide lunch, KitCrew Camps will source a suitable lunch for the child at a cost of £10 per occasion. This covers the cost of staff time, transport and food/drink.

Water fountains will always be available at each camp.

COMPLAINTS

If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of our course, you must report it at once to the Camp Manager.

Should the Camp manager be unable to resolve your problem, you may use the Customer Feedback Form found online to put your complaint in writing.

Should KitCrew Camps still not be able to resolve your issue you should ask for a copy of our complaints policy.

HEALTH POLICY

KitCrew Camps requires that all children who are ill or infectious be kept home for the full duration of their ailment, and for 48 hours after the last symptom occurs.

KitCrew Camps will only administer medication if it has been prescribed by a doctor or other health professional.

TOILET TRAINING

KitCrew Camps asks that children attending camp have been toilet-trained. If a child is still in nappies, he/she is unsuitable for camp activities, and the company asks that the child is not booked onto camp.

KitCrew Camps understands that accidents can happen, and suggests that younger children bring a change of clothes. KitCrew Camps may ask parents to remove a child who soils persistently – in which case no refund will be given.

FIRST AID

In the event of an accident, first aid will be administered and the emergency services will be called if necessary.

Essential prescribed medication must be handed in to each child’s Camp Manager for safe-keeping. All KitCrew Camps First Aid policies are in line with Ofsted recommendations.

KitCrew Camps suggest that all parents whose children carry Epipens arrange for a qualified medical practitioner to demonstrate use of the Epipen to our first aider, Camp Manager and Crew Leader on their first day at camp. If this is not possible then we will accept a demonstration given by a parent/guardian instead.

PARENTAL CONSENT – RISK ACCEPTANCE

Most courses at KitCrew Camps include one or more adventurous activities. KitCrew Camps’s staff have, and fully accept, a duty of care to make those activities as safe as is reasonably practical. They are required to adhere to a comprehensive set of safety rules and there is a quality management system to monitor the fact that rules and procedures are adhered to.

However, adventurous activities are inherently hazardous and cannot be completely risk free however hard we try. Accidents can happen without any contributory negligence from KitCrew staff. Your children must therefore help our staff to look after their safety by listening carefully to instructions, by doing what they are asked to do and by not being reckless by trying to do more than they have been briefed to do. Only give your consent if you are confident that they will behave responsibly in this way. KitCrew Camps can accept no responsibility for loss of or damage to personal property or for personal injury not arising as a result of its own action or default.

By agreeing to the KitCrew Camps Terms and Conditions I understand and accept the above statements. My son or daughter / child is fit for the course and I will inform the Camp manager before the course of any special medical conditions that might affect mine, or any other child’s safety.
